The UK's favourite Christmas number one single has been revealed by music industry experts - but which is YOUR favourite?
Christmas is pretty much the biggest time of the year for the music industry.
The battle to be at the top spot on Christmas Day is fought out by many musicians - but the Christmas number one tradition goes back to 1952, as 2017 marks the 65th anniversary of the very first one, won by Al Martino's Here In My Heart.
Despite hearing the typical Christmas songs every single Christmas throughout your life, they generally never get old or boring. Some of them never even got close to being number 1 but are still played on repeat year after year...
However, according to Spin To Sing, Brits reckon that anytime from 1 December is an acceptable time to get the tunes on the go - apart from the 4% of Scrooges who hate ALL Christmas songs and would like it if they were NEVER played.
Spoil sports.
But let's ignore those Grinches, instead we've compiled a definitive ranking of all the Christmas number ones - and here are the top 20. Which is your favourite festive tune?
